The board announced the approval of bills and signing of checks.

The minutes could not be approved because Selectman Vecchio had not attended the February 11 meeting.

There was no report from Stan Borkowski.

Chairman Moroney announced that this was a Public Hearing regarding refunding of the USDA Rural bond for the water expansion done in 1994. She said we had received a letter from USDA suggesting we might want to refinance to get a lower interest rate. Selectman Strasser contacted banks, and Connecticut River Bank has offered an attractive rate. We are currently paying 4.5% interest, and they quoted 3.59%. Chairman Moroney said we need to decide whether to make lower payments that will have the bond mature in 2024, as did the USDA loan, or to make the same payments as we have been and have the loan term be shorted. The amortization schedules we have are not accurate, so the amount of savings for each option can’t be determined. Chairman Moroney moved to refinance with Connecticut River Bank, but ask them for new schedules before deciding which loan term to choose. Selectman Vecchio seconded the motion, and it was passed unanimously. The secretary reported that when the time comes for signing paperwork, all three selectmen must sign.

Chairman Moroney read a letter to Provan & Lorber naming Bill Dowling as contact person for the landfill groundwater monitoring contract. She then moved to sign the letter, Selectman Vecchio seconded the motion, and it was passed unanimously.

At 7:25 PM, as there was no additional business, Chairman Moroney declared the meeting ended.
